You may know about Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler, but how well do you think they would stack up against each other for best boy? Sebastian is the demon butler who serves the young Earl for him to fulfill his wish for revenge, bound to him with a Faustian contract.

On the other hand, Ciel is a young boy who lost his family when his mansion burned down, and a cult kidnapped him. Within these heavy themes, however, we see a glimpse of what makes each of them unique. We're going to evaluate which one overall earns the title of best boy.

10 SEBASTIAN: HE'S HANDSOME

We know we are beginning with a vain point on this list, but this is an undeniable truth. This is a well-known fact within the fourth-wall break of the manga. Sebastian is a part of the Devil Six, the six most popular characters in the Black Butler universe, with Sebastian being the number one pick.

Despite his handsome looks, Sebastian most likely does not have the best looks because he is a demon and can make himself appeal to humans by having him look good. However, this does not stop anyone from thinking that he is very handsome, as opposed to Ciel's cuteness.

9 CIEL: HE ENJOYS READING

Both Sebastian and Ciel have a vast knowledge of a lot of things. Sebastian is knowledgeable because he has lived for a very long time while Ciel is because he has been tutored on subjects. However, during times when Ciel is not too busy, he enjoys reading books.

He is a fan of the mystery genre and enjoys books from Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allen Poe. It's hard to find someone with interest in books, so this tidbit of information would appeal to those who have an interest in reading. Ciel would be the perfect partner to recommend books.

8 SEBASTIAN: HE LIKES CATS

If you have watched Black Butler since the early days, you should know how much Sebastian adores cats. He once hid thirteen cats inside his closet so Ciel would not be able to discover them, although he did and forced him to remove them. It is laughable how a demon has a soft spot for cats, but at the same time makes Sebastian more appealing as a character.

Despite a lot of the coldblooded things we see him do for his young master, at least we know he will not be so low to harm a cat. Nothing can be said for other animals, however.

7 CIEL: HE'S HUMAN

This isn't an important fact, you say? You are wrong. Despite the coldhearted actions we see Ciel commit throughout the series, Ciel is a human at the end of the day. Unlike Sebastian, Ciel will most likely understand someone's emotions better, and you will be able to speak to him about things Sebastian could never understand.

We have seen an array of Ciel's emotions on display from anger, happiness, and most recently, sadness. Sebastian cannot cry, but Ciel can and has done it before, even if he claims he cannot emote. Ciel has a one-up in this area while Sebastian fails.

6 SEBASTIAN: HE CAN COOK AND DO HOUSEWORK

On top of being devilishly handsome, Sebastian can cook and clean. What makes it better is that Sebastian was not always like this, as he created food out of thin air the first time he arrived at the Phantomhive household.

But after Ciel taking a bite of the food and spilling the tea in Sebastian's hands to tell him it was awful, he ordered Sebastian never to make food appear like that again. Although he does everything flawlessly now, he was at once not at all good. Sebastian can make the fanciest of meals and the best tea, which makes him very appealing.

5 CIEL: HE CARES DEEPLY ABOUT FAMILY

Ciel is a tsundere, a person who acts cold and blunt on the outside but is nice on the inside, and barely shows any resemblance of kindness throughout the series. However, as depicted in the manga, Ciel does care about his servants to some degree as well as Elizabeth, his cousin and fiance.

In Black Butler: Book of Atlantic, Elizabeth was in a situation where she almost died. Although she protected herself, before she was supposedly about to meet her end, the heartwrenching expression on his face is hard not to forget. The care he has for his family is fantastic.

4 SEBASTIAN: HE WILL COVER UP YOUR MISTAKES

This is a dangerous thing to say to boost Sebastian up as best boy, yes, but if you look at it differently, it can sound good. Sebastian is shown to follow-up whatever it is Ciel may order him to do as long as he says a few words, from cooking to murder. However, that is not all.

During Black Butler: Book of Circus, Sebastian helped Ciel get the role of Smile by throwing pebbles at him. Sebastian will not allow you to give up on something even if you want to, and he will tell you when you are wrong.

3 CIEL: HE'S A HARD WORKER

Ciel is a person who managed to escape from a cult and summon a demon. Even though he has been through a lot, Ciel never stops working, it seems. Yes, he gives Sebastian most of the heavy and dirty work, but he does take care of a lot of stuff that most adults would find difficult.

He takes lessons throughout the day from dancing to French and runs the Funtom Corporation smoothly. All of this would not have been possible without the hard work he puts into everything he does. Even if Sebastian helps a lot, you cannot deny how much stuff he can take care of at once.

2 SEBASTIAN: HE WILL PROTECT YOU

As long as you have a Faustian contract with him, at least. Sebastian is sure to do anything you ask of him if you wish for it and is loyal to an extent. With him, you will be able to be safe as long as you do not put your life in danger in a stupid manner.

Without the Faustian contract, however, he will not do anything to help you, which makes this pretty flawed, but still the best point about him. If you are going to have a demon eat your soul, might as well pick Sebastian to do so.

1 CIEL: HE'S KIND

Sebastian may be the number one within the Devil Six and Ciel the second, but Ciel is genuinely a better pick for best boy than Sebastian. Ciel may act cold, but he is a very kind person at his core. He cares for Elizabeth despite pushing her away and even cares for the servants of the manor like they are his family.

Even Snake, the person he recruited after the Noah's Ark Circus Arc, was recruited because he presumably felt bad about what happened. All of these facts as well as the ones listed in this article make Ciel the best pick for best boy.
